The Beaufort County Millage Card allows citizens to look up the millage by tax district for each agency. The districts each have a different millage rate to help fund their budget. The millage rate is the number of mills levied on taxpayers to meet each district budget. One mill equals 1/1000 of a dollar.
To calculate the taxes due for real and personal property, find the tax district and convert the millage rate to a decimal by moving the decimal three spaces to the left. Then use that number and multiply it by the assessed value of the property. This will give you the taxes due prior to any credits.
You may also use the Beaufort County Tax Calculator to help to determine the taxes due for each property.
The millage rates are approved by County Council, Town Councils, School Boards and Special Purpose Districts. They are submitted to the County Auditor by the chief elected official along with a copy of the ordinance approving the millage rate. The Auditor’s Office then applies these millage rates in preparing tax notices.
